About the host
Hosted by Susan and Ted
Susan & Ted have lived and raised two incredible daughters here - one who recently graduated from Cal State Long Beach. We love to travel, to hike, visit breweries, kayak and explore. We want to make your stay relaxing, stress free and wonderful.
Why they chose this property
We treat this as we like to travel - providing everything you might need. We love fur babies - so we will allow pets with an extra pet fee and upon approval. We will do our best to make this your favorite get away!
What makes this property unique
Our place is quiet, peaceful, ocean breezy and bright, and definately not a place to have a party! We are close by, but you probably won't see us unless you need us.
